Xiao Yan looked at the Qing Ning Holy Man calmly. The Qing Ning Holy Man was also using his supernatural awareness to explore Xiao Yan’s Yunluo Pill. After a few moments, he retracted his powers and remained his silent for very long.
After remaining silent for a period of time, the Qing Ning Holy Man sighed, “My skills are not as great. I have lost. Xiao Yan’s method of using the pill tribulations to aid his cultivation is indeed eye-opening.”
For cultivators at his level, they didn’t need to consume the pills to judge the quality of the pills.
Although they could not determine the full effects of the pill, they could sense the medicinal power of it as well as the concepts of the Heavens and Earth. This allowed them to judge the level of the pills.
Although Xiao Yan’s Yunluo Pill was not comparable to the Trayastrimsa Elixir of Creation, Ten Sages Aurous Core and Longevity Pill, it was still better than the Nine Suns Spiritual Divine Pill and Awakening Sages Pill.
According to the agreement that all three parties acknowledged at the start, Xiao Yan would have won based on this point.
After the Qing Ning Holy Man verified, he could confirm that the inner demons of the pill had already been removed during the pill tribulations. There would be no side effects from these Yunluo Pills that Xiao Yan cultivated. And because the pill tribulation was overcome, the quality of the pills would be even better too.
In this aspect, it was similarly superior to the Nine Suns Spiritual Divine Pill and Awakening Sages Pill.
When Xiao Yan retrieved the pills, he did not make any mistake either. There were no leftover herbs in the crucible and no medicinal power was leaked during the process of cultivation. All the original materials were completely used up and there was no wastage.
These 12 Yunluo Pills were made up entirely of the original materials that Xiao Yan used. In theory, this was the maximum number of pills that could have been cultivated.
The only downside was that Xiao Yan was indeed slower than the Qing Ning Holy Man and Gu Yuankai. But his control of things was more precise.
There were only 3 people in this competition, but this was probably the greatest pill cultivation contest in the current age. And Xiao Yan won without a doubt!
In the camp of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Tang Jun, Yang Tie, Yan Wuwei, Tan Yuqing and the rest smiled as they looked at one another. Even Zhou Yuncong looked gentler at this point.
Only Duan Muhong looked perplexed. “Why are the rest shocked about the method of Grandmaster?”
Apart from the members of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, the rest of the people from the other sects were indeed still lost.
Gu Yuankai shook his head and sighed, “The younger ones have more room to develop!”
The Qing Ning Holy Man remained silent. It’s not that he was a sore loser, but it’s just that he became a lot older after this setback.
Chang Ling shook his head in torment, “Coincidence, this must be a coincidence. What 50% success rate to 100% success rate. It must be a joke…”
Chen Xingyun turned to look at him, “Calm down, calm yourself down. You have lost your cool many times today. If you continue like this, you won’t amount to anything much in the future.”
Chang Ling laughed bitterly, “Even if I calm down, I may not be accomplished in the future too. Maybe my cultivation will improve, but in terms of pill cultivation, it’s hard for me to improve any further. Every time I close my eyes, I think of how Xiao Yan won Grandmaster.”
He didn’t continue with the rest of his words. He did not want to talk too much about his elder, but Chen Xingyu knew what he meant.
The awe-inspiring Qing Ning Holy Man had now lost to someone who was not much older than him. This was enough to cause desolation within the junior disciples of the Great Void Sect who specialized in pill cultivation.
To compare themselves to the Qing Ning Holy Man, they already felt that they were nothing. But whether it was the Qing Ning Holy Man or Gu Yuankai, they had been cultivating pills for many years now. It was only normal that they were so much better.
While this gap was frightening, it also became a target for the future disciples. They hoped to become as great one day through their own hard work and time.
But now, someone had appeared and made it seem as if the Qing Ning Holy Man was nothing. How could this not lead to desolation?
To use a cruder term, many of the pill cultivators developed an inferiority complex as they looked at Xiao Yan. They felt as if they were a bunch of pigs.
They might even be worse than pigs!
Even the Qing Ning Holy Man and Gu Yuankai were moved. What more the younger generation of disciples?
The junior disciples of the Gu Family were also dealt a huge blow. Gu Liancheng only regained his awareness after a while. He took in a deep breath, “Some people are talented and this is only normal. In the past, Emperor Chong, Emperor Xia and Grandmaster Longevity displayed extraordinary pill cultivation talents when they were still of low cultivations.”
Gu Cheng looked at Gu Jun, “Brother, did you expect such a result?”
Gu Jun nodded his head, “How could I have? It’s just that I understand Xiao Yan more than all of you. Although he is braver than others, he’s not someone who is reckless. He might have been like this in the past, but through years of guidance by Lin Feng, he is already different from before.”
“But the overall result is still beyond my expectations. I did not expect that his pill cultivation skills are so great. My original guess was that he would draw Ninth Uncle and the Qing Ning Holy Man.”
“In this case, he forsook the Nanming Primordial Fire and won Ninth Uncle by a little. Compared to the Qing Ning Holy Man, he’s much younger too. Thus in this aspect, he beats the Qing Ning Holy Man too.”
Gu Cheng looked at Xiao Zhener and could not help but laughed bitterly, “Zhener has been very calm throughout.”
Xiao Zhener smiled, “I have not seen Brother Xiao cultivate pills before, thus I don’t know what’s his level is like. But I have belief in him.”
Xiao Yan looked at the Qing Ning Holy Man and Gu Yuankai, as he clasped his palm and fist together, “I have only won because the two of you was lenient on me.”
The Qing Ning Holy Man and Gu Yuankai accepted their defeat and did not act like sore losers. Because of this, Xiao Yan’s respect for the both of them also increased. If the two of them colluded to deny any loss they faced, it might not affect the result, but it would still be an unscrupulous move.
But the two elders were very gracious. It’s just that they were feeling a little down now.
After Xiao Yan clasped his palm and fist together, he pointed at the crucible. The crucible shot out with flowing light, which dispersed in the sky, as if they were fireworks. As the Qing Ning Holy Man and Gu Yuankai saw this, they did the same thing.
This was also the way of showing that the competition was over during the Antiquity Age.
The Qing Ning Holy Man looked at Yan Nanlai and Yan Nanlai nodded his head, “We have to fulfil our promise. Whatever stake that we put out earlier, please pass them to Lin Feng and his disciple.”
The Qing Ning Holy Man nodded his head silently and said, “Master, I was too careless. I forget there’s always someone out there who’s better.”
Yan Nanlai communicated back, “Senior Qing Ning, all the pressure was on you. We can’t help it anyway.”
“As for the Trayastrimsa Elixir of Creation, I guess we can only wait for the War of the Two Worlds.” The Qing Ning Holy Man shook his head, “I thought we could benefit earlier, but who knew…”
On the other side, Gu Yuankai did the same action. He returned to Gu Jun, “Your Majesty, is this the result that you hoped to see? If it’s about making a choice, isn’t it too early.”
Gu Jun answered, “Ninth Uncle, I won’t deny that I saw the Celestial Sect of Wonders in a better way because of what the Great Void Sect said. But this Barren Spirit Spring has nothing to do with my choice.”
He looked at Gu Yuankai, “That pill formula of the Celestial Sect of Wonders is a huge favor. We can’t just take it for nothing, otherwise, it will affect our choice. Through this method, giving out the Barren Spirit Spring is just for courtesy’s sake.”
As Gu Yuankai heard him, he was silent. After a while, he nodded his head, “Your Majesty, your words are indeed true. I didn’t ponder over it carefully.”
Gu Jun shook his head and looked at Xiao Yan, “Now it seems like our return gift seems a little too invaluable and the desired effect is not achieved. In this case…”
Gu Yuankai laughed bitterly. Xiao Yan won beautifully in this pill cultivation contest and there was no doubt about that. Both the Qing Ning Holy Man and Gu Yuankai accepted their loss readily too.
“Not considering other things, I think Zhener has found a good husband.” Gu Yuankai shook his head and said, “He is young, yet his cultivation talent is immense. Not even mentioning his cultivation powers, his art of pill cultivation is already very deep, which is a rare thing.”
Gu Cheng said, “Although the Qing Ning Holy Man was publicly recognized as the number one pill cultivator in the Divine Lands, and perhaps only Ninth Uncle can match up to him, Xiao Yan’s victory over the both of you probably cemented his place as the top pill cultivator in the Divine Lands.”
“Although it’s said that there’s always someone better, I find it difficult to believe that we can find someone more powerful than Xiao Yan. Especially since Xiao Yan is still very young and probably hasn’t reached his peak yet!”
Gu Jun and Gu Yuankai nodded their heads, while on the other side, Yan Nanlai, the Qing Ning Holy Man and Wu Mengqi looked at Xiao Yan with slightly weird expressions. They watched him as he returned to where the Celestial Sect of Wonders was.
Lin Feng looked at his eldest disciple and smiled, “After today, your reputation in the art of pill cultivation will be greater than your reputation in other aspects.”
Xiao Yan chuckled, “I have learnt greatly from this experience too.”
Lin Feng nodded his head, “Your attitude is right.”
Zhu Yi, Yang Qing and Li Yuanfang all congratulated Xiao Yan too.
After today, Xiao Yan’s victory had placed him as the top pill cultivator!
And right now, he had not reached his peak yet.
